Wed 21 — Sun 25 Nov
Mercher 21 — Sul 25 Tachwedd
Experimentica is a vibrant annual showcase for performance and
interdisciplinary projects across installation, film, video, sound
art, dance and theatre. This year we are presenting a range of
exciting works that in some way consider the notion of the
‘UNSEEN’: the challenging; the experimental; the genre defining.
Mae Experimentica yn arddangosfa fywiog flynyddol o brosiectau
rhyngddisgyblaethol a pherfformiadau sy’n cynnwys gwaith ffilm,
gosodiadau, celfyddyd fideo, sain, dawns a theatr. Eleni, rydym yn
cyflwyno amrywiaeth o weithiau cyffrous sy’n ymwneud mewn
gwahanol ffyrdd â’r syniad o fod yn ‘anweledig’: gweithiau heriol,
arbrofol, sy’n diffinio'u genres.
UNSEEN is not a theme for the Festival, more a catalyst for ideas
and an opportunity to explore the often hidden or ignored — the
spaces between and on the edge.
The programme — that this year takes place across our gallery,
theatre, cinemas, lightbox, studios and public spaces — is also
supported by a packed season of films in the cinema to celebrate
100 years of the BBFC, and a collaborative programme of events as
part of Artes Mundi 5.
Richard Higlett: Another
Trickster
Chapter
In mythology, and in the study of folklore and
religion, a trickster is a god, goddess, spirit,
man, woman, or anthropomorphic animal who
plays tricks or otherwise disobeys normal
rules and conventional behaviour. For
Experimentica, Richard Higlett looks at the
role of the trickster as a starting point for a
series of interventions that question the
processes of engagement by the public with
activities that seek to be defined as ‘art’.
Nid thema ar gyfer yr ŵyl yw’r teitl ‘anweledig’; y mae'n fwy o
gatalydd ar gyfer syniadau ac yn gyfle i archwilio mannau cudd, neu
fannau a gaiff eu hanwybyddu fel arfer — y tir canol, y tir ar y ffin.
Mae’r rhaglen — sy’n cael ei chyflwyno eleni yn ein horiel, ein theatr,
ein sinemâu, y blwch golau, y stiwdios a’r mannau cyhoeddus — yn
cael ei hategu gan dymor bywiog o ffilmiau yn y sinema i ddathlu 100
mlynedd o fodolaeth y BBFC, a rhaglen gydweithredol o
ddigwyddiadau yn rhan o Artes Mundi 5.

PHIL BABOT: PLANE
GALLERY, 6PM AND THROUGHOUT FESTIVAL
Phil Babot is interested in the aesthetics of Zen
in the process of shaping and examining the
relationship between an individual and space,
particularly architectural space. Babot’s live

austerity of form and reveal successive layers
and complexities in the trace of the
performative act that remains.

Cardiff based artist Davida Hewlett and Japan
based oddball pop star and art critic Momus

PHIL BABOT: PLANE
ORIEL, 6PM A THRWY GYDOL YR ŴYL
Mae Phil Babot yn ymddiddori yn y modd y gall
estheteg Zen ddylanwadu ar y broses o lunio
ac archwilio’r berthynas rhwng unigolion a
gofod, a gofod pensaernïol yn arbennig. Mae
digwyddiadau byw Babot yn llawn symlrwydd a
llymder ffurfiol ac yn datgelu haenau a
chymhlethdodau yn yr awgrym o weithred
berfformiadol sy’n weddill wedi’r prosesau
ffurfiol.

MOMUS & DAVIDA HEWLETT
THEATR, 8.30pm
Bydd yr artist o Gaerdydd, Davida Hewlett, a’r
seren bop ‘oddball’ a’r beirniad celfyddydol,
Momus, sy’n gweithio yn Japan, yn cydweithio
dros gyfnod preswyl o bythefnos. Byddant yn
archwilio'u dulliau gwahanol ac unigryw o
weithio ac yn creu mannau’n llawn o gyfleoedd,
cyfnewid a chyfarfyddiad. Bydd y cyfnod
preswyl yn dod i uchafbwynt â’r perfformiad
comisiwn unigryw hwn.

Chapter
Mewn mytholeg, ac mewn astudiaethau o lên
gwerin a chrefydd, mae’r castiwr yn dduw, yn
dduwies, yn ysbryd, neu’n ddyn, menyw neu
anifail anthropomorffig sy’n chwarae triciau
neu’n gwrthod rheolau arferol ac ymddygiad
confensiynol. Ar gyfer Experimentica, mae
Richard Higlett yn edrych ar rôl y castiwr. Mae
hynny’n fan cychwyn ar gyfer cyfres o
ymyriadau sy’n codi cwestiynau ynglŷn â’r
prosesau sy’n cysylltu’r cyhoedd â
gweithgareddau sy’n cael eu diffinio fel rhai
‘celfyddydol’.

IN CONVERSATION
STIWDIO, 2-8PM
Operating as a ‘tag-team’, good cop bad cop
will engage cleverbot — an artificial
intelligence web app — in a six-hour orgy of
conversation; constructing and disrupting
narratives; working to deliberately exploit its
unpredictability. By bringing their own
particular witty and experimental form of
performance to the table they will work with
and against their opponent, across a wide
range of subject matter.

CATHY GORDON: MOLES DANCING
THEATRE, 2-5PM AND 7-9PM
Blindness is scary. In blindness we are lost:
disoriented, unknowing. Moles Dancing is both
a private encounter and a public extension of
this ‘not knowing’.
Visitors are invited to engage in a one-to-one
exchange: slip on a pair of headphones, don a
blindfold, and stumble into the mole hole for a
clumsy encounter. Limited capacity.

CHRISTOPH DETTMEIER:
RIDE ‘EM JEWBOY
MEDIA POINT, 8.30PM
In 1972 Kinky Friedman wrote a song entitled
Ride ‘em Jewboy. In it, he employed the
conventions of the country ballad but included
lines that framed the mythical notion of
freedom and the lonesome cowboy, by the
inescapable facts of the Holocaust.
In Dettmeier’s version he sings alongside
Friedman’s soundtrack and is immersed in the
shadows of a slide projection of sites in Berlin
that were significant to both Jewish life and
Nazi rule, creating an authentic and haunting
sense of mourning. Limited capacity.

RIDE ‘EM JEWBOY
PWYNT CYFRYNGOL, 8.30PM
Ym 1972, cyfansoddodd Kinky Friedman gân o’r
enw Ride ‘em Jewboy. Ynddi, defnyddiodd
gonfensiynau baledi canu gwlad — syniadau
chwedlonol am ryddid a’r cowboi unig — ond
cynhwysodd hefyd linellau a oedd yn fframio’r
gân yn hanes diymwad yr Holocost.
Mae Dettmeier, yn ei fersiwn ef, yn canu gyda
thrac sain Friedman o flaen tafluniadau o
ddelweddau o safleoedd yn Berlin a oedd yn
bwysig i Iddewon a’r Natsïaid, ac yn creu
teimlad dilys ac ingol o alar.

ZIERLE & CARTER:
INTO THE DISTANCE
CITY CENTRE, CARDIFF, 9AM-6PM
The work of Zierle & Carter critically examines
different modes of communication and what it
means to be human, addressing notions of
belonging, the dynamics within relationships
and the transformation of limitations.
Into the Distance is anchored in an exploration
of the intangible, invisible, the unseen, the
personal and the collective. Directly
challenging ‘acceptable’ modes of intimacy the
work hopes to open up a dialogue around the
notion of exchange.

Pothole Cardiff trail — culminating in a private
view of the monuments in Arcade Cardiff,

CINEMA, 3PM
In The Meadow, the voice of components —
organic and inorganic material, metals,
effluent and various forms of electronic waste
— is heard. It appears to come from a vast and
complex site, a future vision of excess that is
very much alive, where all forms of material
have been disposed of, forgotten and
abandoned.
The vitality of this rotting and merging material
both above and below the surface is voiced, as
it looks at implementing its own way of
thinking and own conditions for life where
materials constantly merge and mutate as they
explore how a new post-human agency of
things and matter can be realised.

TOM MARSHMAN: WE NEED TO TALK
ABOUT BAMBI — WORK IN
PROGRESS
COMMON ROOM, 4PM
Tom Marshman presents and performs news
ideas and reflections on his current work in
progress. Exploring a number of themes
through the filter of Disney’s classic film,
Bambi — mother-son love (and loss); fatherson relationships; the process of growing up,
making friends and finding romantic love; Man
Vs Nature — Marshman weaves new narratives
through both visuals and storytelling. Delving
into movement research, Tom touches upon
the idea of a human-deer hybrid, of physical
vulnerability and gender stereotypes. Limited

MAMORU IRIGUCHI:
PROJECTOR / CONJECTOR
STIWDIO, 6PM
Projector / Conjector is a multimedia
performance featuring two key characters:
Projector, a boy with a video projector attached
to his head; and Conjector, a girl with a TV
attached to her head.
Projector projects bigger-than-life images all
around him. Conjector, on the other hand,
captures what lingers in the air and displays it
on a television screen. Moved by the moving
image, the two characters meet; fall in love
and part through the digitally generated
imagery.

THE STRANGE NAMES COLLECTIVE:
PROLOGUE
THEATRE, 9PM
Under the gaze of humanity’s successors,
Prologue seeks the connections between Coal
Miners’ Canaries, Car Crashes, Recurring
Dreams, The Human Appendix, Shark Attacks,
Liberache, the Portuguese Man of War and
Little Orphan Annie.
Through a use of footnotes, personal asides,
images, movement, film and sound The Strange

digressing, bittersweet exploration of the
twinned notions of the future and potential.

THE COLLECT: LOOKING ACROSS

COMMON ROOM, 11PM
A man sits alone fruitlessly untangling wires.
He persists whilst three voices speak
simultaneously: their tones and rhythms
intertwine in a manner that mimics the slow
unravelling. There is sublimity to the mess; the
tangle of threads and the murmur of voices
suggest both the struggle of the creative
collaborative process, and the glorious energy
of doing and being together. Limited capacity.

CANOL Y DINAS, CAERDYDD, 9AM-6PM
Mae gwaith Zierle a Carter yn archwilio dulliau
gwahanol o gyfathrebu a’r hyn yw bod yn
ddynol. Mae’n mynd i’r afael â syniadau o
berthyn, y ddeinameg oddi mewn i berthnasau
ac yn ceisio trawsnewid cyfyngiadau.
Mae Into the Distance yn archwiliad o’r
anniriaethol, yr anweledig, y personol a’r
cyfunol. Yn her uniongyrchol i agosatrwydd
‘derbyniol’, mae’r gwaith yn ceisio deialog â’r
syniad o gyfnewid.

perthynas tad a mab, y broses o dyfu i fyny,
cyfeillgarwch a serch, Dyn yn erbyn Natur. Mae
Marshman yn gwau naratifau newydd trwy
gyfrwng deunydd gweledol a thechnegau

CINEMA, 5PM
Send/Receive is an independent film about the
thriving Scottish experimental noise and
abstract music community. It was assembled
from interviews with over twenty sound artists
and features sonic contributions and live
footage from many more.
Featuring funny, honest and frequently
contradictory artists’ statements, the film
develops from a snapshot portrait of this
vibrant subculture into a broader examination
of the creative impulse, and of how people
experience and define sound. The film
screening will be followed by a Q&A with two of
the filmmakers and sonic / sound artists from
the Festival and the wider Cardiff experimental
music scene.

MOONLIGHTERS’ UNION
CAFFI BAR, 10PM
Moonlighting relies on factors that can no
longer be taken for granted: the idea of ‘regular
employment’ and the possibility of a clear
distinction between labour and leisure.
Without the reference of a fixed job, we are all
moonlighters.
Moonlighters’ Union aims to introduce the
concept of ‘get-paid-as-you-wish’ and by
considering the value of an activity outside of,
but in relation to, established notions of what
constitutes work or labour. The Moonlighters’
Union will hold a late-night assembly and offer
a cash-budget to fund activities that people
think they should get paid for in the future.

Richard Bowers and the Sound of Aircraft
Attacking Britain present Ceremony: a Hymn to
the Night, an electronic-song-ritual featuring
experimental folk singer Caroline Pugh.
Against modified footage from a salvaged print
of the 1940 Academy Awards ceremony, Pugh
sings whilst Vivien Leigh delivers her
acceptance speech for winning Best Actress
for the role of Scarlet O’Hara in Gone with the
Wind. Other speeches are stripped of
referential content and forged into a collage of
emotional mantras that, in league with the
performer’s wordless Hymn to the Night,
recasts the ceremony as religious rite.

MOONLIGHTERS’ UNION
CAFFI BAR, 10PM
Mae gweithio mewn swyddi ychwanegol,
answyddogol — ‘moonlighting’ — yn dibynnu ar
ffactorau na ellir eu cymryd yn ganiataol
mwyach: y syniad o ‘swydd ddibynadwy’ a’r
posibilrwydd o wahaniaethu’n glir rhwng
gwaith a hamdden. Heb y statws a ddaw yn sgil
swydd sefydlog, rydym i gyd, i ryw raddau, yn
gweithio fel ‘moonlighters’.
Nod y Moonlighters’ Union yw cyflwyno’r
cysyniad o ‘gael-eich-talu-fel-y-dymunwch’ ac
ystyried hefyd werth gweithgareddau unigol ar
y cyd ac ar wahân hefyd i syniadau sefydledig
o’r hyn yw gwaith neu lafur. Bydd y
Moonlighters’ Union yn cynnal cynulliad gyda’r

dderbyn tâl am eu cyflawni yn y dyfodol.

Y LLOFFT, 8PM
Aaron’s work is inspired by his experience of
becoming deaf and by a politicised, yet
humorous sensibility towards disability. Mostly
as for Experimentica ­he devises unique
performances and videos that are created
on-site immediately prior to their public
presentation. A constant theme is to challenge
and subvert the romantic valorisation of social
‘outsiderness’ and thus portrays himself in
performances and videos in the guise of shamshamans, pretend-primitives, hoax-hermits,
fake feral children, charlatan saints and
dubious monsters.

SHOCK CORRIDOR PLUS Q&A WITH
THE BBFC’S CRAIG LAPPER
Sat 17
USA/1963/101 mins.
Directed by Samuel Fuller. With Peter Breck.
Shock Corridor is the aptly named 1963
B-movie psychodrama from American film
auteur Samuel Fuller. Filled with a number of
taboos — a burlesque musical number, a brutal
attack by a gang of cannibalistic
nymphomaniacs, the suggestions of incest
and the mandatory electroshock sequence —
Shock Corridor is a piece that allows an
audience to question society and morality.

Cyfarwyddwyd gan Samuel Fuller. Gyda Peter Breck.
‘Shock Corridor’ yw teitl hynod addas y ffilm B
a’r seicoddrama a gwblhawyd ym 1963 gan yr
auteur Americanaidd, Samuel Fuller. Yn llawn o
bynciau tabŵ — canu bwrlesg, ymosodiad
creulon gan griw o nymffomaniaid canibalaidd,
awgrymiadau o losgach a thriniaeth sioc
drydanol orfodol — mae Shock Corridor yn

SICK: THE LIFE & DEATH OF BOB
FLANAGAN, SUPERMASOCHIST
Ar ôl cael ei garcharu am wyth mlynedd am
dreisio ac ymosod, caiff Max Cady ei ryddhau
ac mae e’n mynd yn syth at ei erlynydd, Sam
Bowden, i ddial arno am y blynyddoedd a
dreuliodd y tu ôl i fariau. Mae Cady yn bygwth
ac yn codi ofn ar y cyfreithiwr a’i deulu ond yn
aros o fewn terfynau’r gyfraith — tan i Sam
sylweddoli beth yw gwir fwriadau Cady a
llwyddo, yn y pen draw, i droi’r drol. Arweiniodd
y ffilm hon at feirniadaeth anarferol o’r Bwrdd

After an eight-year prison term for rape and
assault Max Cady is set free, making a beeline
to prosecutor Sam Bowden to ‘pay him back’
for his years behind bars. Cady stays within the
law in his meticulous campaign of terror until
Sam realises his true intension and ultimately
turns the tables. This violent thriller put the
Board in the unusual position of being vilified
by the tabloids for being too stringent: ‘161

MIRIAM BÄCKSTRÖM:
MOTHERFUCKER
IN THE THEATRE
Wednesday 28, 7pm and 9pm
Motherfucker explores the complex roles,
positions and perspectives within a
relationship. A female director asks a male
actor to forge a character whom she wants to
meet in order to be able to leave.
As the drama unfolds, so does the shifting
control and dependencies.
The performance is mixed with live video feed,
creating a paradox between the real and
mediated video that is simultaneously being
projected.
This event is ticketed at £10 (£5) concs.
Booking essential.
Miriam BÄckstrÖm:
Kira Carpelan
In The Cinema
Wednesday 21, 3pm
This film tells the story of Miriam Bäckström’s
year-long collaboration with the artist Kira
Carpelan. Carpelan could use Bäckström’s
works, notes, knowledge, resources and
networks to develop an exhibition of which
Carpelan would be in control and Bäckström
would continuously film their working process
and be in full control of the edited film.
Usual cinema prices apply; booking essential.
Miriam Bäckström: Kira Carpelan, 2007
Y tu allan i’n mynedfa, mae dwy garafán ail-law
yn gartref i’r première Prydeinig o This
Unfortunate Thing Between Us. Wedi’i berfformio
am y tro cyntaf ym mis Medi 2011 mewn theatr
yng nghanol Berlin ac mewn darllediad byw ar
deledu digidol yn yr Almaen, mae TUTBU yn
sianel siopa amgen sy’n gwerthu profiadau
bywyd go iawn am brisiau disgownt yn lle’r
amrywiaeth arferol o nwyddau rhad a gemwaith.
Wedi’i berfformio gan gast o actorion a
gweithwyr porn, ac i gyfeiliant trac sain gan rai o
hoelion wyth cerddoriaeth Cymru, Gruff Rhys ac
Y Niwl, mae TUTBU yn efelychu fformat sianel
delesiopa — gyda chyflwyniadau, cynigion
arbennig a chyfle i ffonio’r rhaglen. Mae’r gwaith
yn gipolwg pryfoclyd ar un dyfodol posib i deledu
masnachol. Felly, gwnewch baned, ymlaciwch a
swatiwch o flaen y teledu gyda ffrindiau hen a
newydd, i wylio’r unig sianel sy’n gweithio:
TUTBU TV — mae’n brofiad a hanner!

KIRA CARPELAN
YN Y SINEMA
Mercher 21 Tachwedd, 3pm
Mae’r ffilm hon yn adrodd hanes blwyddyn
Miriam Bäckström yn cydweithio â’r artist Kira
Carpelan. Cafodd Carpelan ryddid pur i
ymwneud â Bäckström a’i gwaith fel y dymunai.
Cafodd ganiatâd i ddefnyddio gweithiau
Bäckström ynghyd â’i nodiadau, ei
gwybodaeth, ei hadnoddau a’i rhwydweithiau,
er mwyn datblygu arddangosfa y byddai
Carpelan yn ei rheoli’n llwyr. Aeth Bäckström ati
i ffilmio’r broses o gydweithio a’i chyfrifoldeb hi
wedyn oedd y ffilm orffenedig.
Pris tocyn sinema arferol; dylid archebu ymlaen llaw.
Iau 22 Tachwedd, 6.30pm, Sinema 1
I gyd-fynd â dangosiadau o marxism today

curadur, Jason Bowman.
Pris tocyn ar gyfer y digwyddiad hwn £10 (£5 gost.)
Dylid archebu tocynnau ymlaen llaw.

MIRIAM BÄCKSTRÖM:
MOTHERFUCKER
YN Y THEATR
Mercher 28 Tachwedd, 7pm a 9pm
Mae Motherfucker yn archwilio’r rolau, y
swyddogaethau a’r safbwyntiau cymhleth sydd
yn bodoli oddi mewn i berthynas. Mae
cyfarwyddwr benywaidd yn gofyn i actor
gwrywaidd greu cymeriad y byddai hi eisiau
cwrdd ag ef er mwyn gallu ei adael.
Wrth i’r ddrama ddatblygu, felly hefyd syniadau
o reolaeth a dibyniaeth.
Ategir y perfformiad gan lif fideo byw, sy’n creu
paradocs rhwng yr hyn sy’n real a’r hyn a
gyflwynir ar y fideo.
Pris tocyn ar gyfer y digwyddiad hwn £10 (£5 gost.)
Dylid archebu ymlaen llaw.
